An offline flushing app is not much better in this case.

My wife didn’t like the color of the wall, so she sent me to get this color instead

Why is their wife unhappy with the color?

Why did she send her partner to get a different color?

Why did their wife send someone who cannot tell the difference? Why is that a laughing track?

This does not seem like it is about shade at all. It seems to be more about years of failed communication.

Or this is all fabricated and just a person making stuff up for laughing about shades of white they found in a paint shop.

Yeah, surveillance steals value from consumers.

Self-checkout seems better to me, because it decreases monotonous and forced public interaction (thus somewhat automated anyway): Beep. Beep. Beep. Do you want loyalty points? That’s 21.46€. Do you want the receipt? Goodbye! Beep. Beep. Beep…

It uses less space.

It is parallel instead of serial.

The work is not much more than putting groceries on a checkout lane anyway, except for unlabelled fruits and vegetables.

Self-checkout allows for smaller stores and coops, for example in villages or as kiosk.

The automation are the API and the security cameras.

The fear of employment replacement through automation hinders creativity which would actually provide safer, better and more meaningful employment.

If people (workers, consumers, neighbours) would own or have a foot in their workplaces (i.e. cooperatives), they would care more about that.

Voicemail is dead, long live the voice message.

I’d rather say our filter was/is the carboniferous. We have too much energy for our technology level.

echo “Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this. Now there is a whole train of folks masturbating together at this. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this NSFW.”
